TJ Updates

TJ is becoming famous! He took the Blue Ribbon at the annual Fredericksburg Dog Mart dog show this past Saturday. Read the article in the Freelance Star.

Here are two recent pictures of TJ at one of our planning meetings. The first with him making sure we had our notes correctly entered J and the second once he had worked enough!:

TJ has been making amazing progress. Here's a photo of him at our meeting just days before our big yearly benefit weekend where he'll be one of the guest of honor:

A few photos and a video that was taken at our Greyhounds Rock meeting ... it will make you smile, I promise.

A very touching thing that happened today. Kim and TJ and Howe were outside on the front sidewalk. TJ had been using Kim as a crutch whenever he had to go out, but this time she was standing in front of him. Howe walked next to him, and he and TJ were standing side by side. TJ leaned on Howe for balance for a few moments and Howe braced for him. (You have to know that Howe is quite frail right now, and he usually has enough to do keeping his own balance.) It seems like everyone in the household is doing what they can to help TJ adjust and recover.

TJ had surgery to amputate his leg on Saturday afternoon. He spent two days in the hospital, returning home today. It has been a rough adjustment so far, but Kim says that things are getting a bit better each day.
